On the HDR1, the second scart has AVL, and when you select AUX in the menu of the HDR1, the commands of the Beo4 are passed, from the TV, through the HDR1, to the device connected on the back of the HDR1.

On the HDR1, there is a good reason for it. You can connect a V8000 on the back, and transfer HDR1 recordings on to the tape.

When you do this, the HDR1 starts and stops the recording in the V8000 automatically.

On the DVD2, as you can save the recording onto a DVD on the same device, there are very few chance you need to connect a B&O device on the back of it. Most of the time, it will be a STB or a game console.

Hi,

thanks for answering so quicky. I agree with you that connecting another B&O device on the second SCART won't be a common case (well, I cannot think of even one case, especially if you can write the content of the HDD directly to a DVD).

I am considering buying a DVD2 when it becomes available. Having looked at the DVD2 manual, there are the following questions still open for me:

1) Is that possible to record from a video camera directly to DVD (the manual says only about recording to HDD)?

2) Is that possible to connect DVD2 via HDMI to the DVI input of a Beovision using a HDMI-DVI cable? I mean will it effectively work.

If anybody has any idea on that, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

When is the expected arrival of the DVD2? add 3 months to it and then we might be somewhere close.

Peter, thank you!

Is Philips 7300, which apparently serves as basis for DVD2, a premium range DVD recorder of Philips? I can't find this model on the Philips website, maybe it has been decommissioned already.
